Down in the meadow in a little bitty pool
Swam three little fishies and a mama fishie too
"Swim" said the mama fishie, "Swim if you can"
And they swam and they swam all over the dam
Boop boop dit-tem dat-tem what-tem Chu!
Boop boop dit-tem dat-tem what-tem Chu!
Boop boop dit-tem dat-tem what-tem Chu!
And they swam and they swam all over the dam

Proving that stupid song lyrics are not a modern invention, yeah yeah yeah.

PS I found the lyrics on the US National Institute of Health website at http://www.niehs.nih.gov/kids/lyrics/fishies.htm.

this rap is crap
popo zao oh wow
what my mind fails to grasp
is that your sick of my ass
you've had enough of white trash
wannabes and their acts
gonna flush me down the crapper
but I wannabe a rapper
got my wife to subsidize
until she realize

this rap is crap, reject, it's wack
popo zoa not now
why you take offense at that?
do you suppose me rhymes be more wack
than Britney's toxic crap?
what's up wit dat?
can't see where it's at
gotta itch where it scratch
while this money lasts
got my head up my ____
ask me where my rhymes at
and I point to my
Po po
Po po
Po po zao po po zao

Back in the day, I used to be a pretty fair singer; I lead the gang in many a rousing chorus on the bus ride to & from out high school sports games. (Apparently the portable radio had yet to be invented.) One hot new favorite of the time was "The Name Game" by Shirley Idon'tremember. We had worked our way merrily through most of the members of our football team (Bill Bill bo Bill, banana fana fo bill, fe fi fo FILL!) and had just launched into a rousing chorus of "HEY! Chuck Chuck, bo buck, banana fana fo buck, fee fi fo......." when several of the sharper gals screamed out "STOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" so loudly, the bus driver slammed on the brakes and dumped all our silly asses on the floor.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Make It STOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That STUPID IDIOT'S song is repeating in my HEAD!
Make IT STOP,MAKE IT STOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PLEASE MAKE IT STOPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Topless Sandals. Seriously. Stick 'em to your feet and off you go. Which begs the question: Why?"

I think the general idea of these things is that people who really like to go barefoot (count me in) can do so without 1) hurting themselves, or 2) running afoul of "no shirt, no shoes, no service" rules in stores, restaurants, etc. (And no, I don't own a pair of these, but I've heard about them for years.)

Dave, just because you don't understand a foreign language doesn't mean you should poke fun at it. Kevin has simply translated Eminem's "Ass Like That" into Hungarian, so it makes perfect sense once you know what's being communicated in this stirring tribute to his lovely wife Britney..

Ass Like That-

The way you shake it,
I can't believe it, I ain't never seen an ass like that
The way you move it, you make my pee pee
go...doing doing doing
I don't believe it, it's almost to good to be true
I ain't never seen an ass like that
The way you move it, you make my pee pee go...doing doing doing

Noob...it's pandemic. And you're right: they're all rushing toward the center of my brain where they'll collide, and fuse for a single nanosecond into a blinding flash of nuclear doo-woppity, and then...it'll be the Big Bang-a-ding-dong all over again (over over over anda over, what more can I do. cause she's got...)

While now amount of drugs could induce me to play tha "music" link on K-Fed's page, I will say that when I saw the transcript of the lyric on Dave's post, the only thing I could think of was, "Everybody knows, about the bird. Bird, bird, bird, the bird is the word...."

21. Sh-Boom by The Crew Cuts
22. Blue Moon by The Marcels (I always hated what they did to this song. It's meant to be heartfelt, slow, sad, moody and yearning. Actually, one of the best versions I've heard of it is in "Blue Moon Revisited" by Cowboy Junkies, where Margo Timmins sings an excerpt of the original Blue Moon in the middle of that song. I always wished she would've just sung the entire old song. Beautiful voice. But I digress.)

24. He's So Fine by The Chiffons

How'd I do? I'm not a huge doo wop fan -- 60's through 80's are the eras I know the most about. Someone help me out on the ?? ones.
